fantastic authentic experience - Gezim from See Trips was great to work with. Professional and prompt with communication. Our driver Semet was accommodating and helpful. Would highly recommend going with See Trips and having a driver/car when looking for an authentic experience in Albania. Thank you!

Albania - Customised Package - The entire experience with See Trip was nothing short of exceptional, and I felt compelled to share my positive feedback. First and foremost, the itinerary was well-planned and perfectly executed.From the initial communication till the momemt we reached back in our country Gezim showed his professionalism. Each destination was carefully chosen, and the activities provided a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. No words will be enough to say Thank you to our Guide Saimir. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. His passion for the destinations and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure our comfort and understanding were commendable. His insights and local knowledge made the trip more memorable. Overall, I am thrilled with the quality of service provided by See Trip. From the initial booking process to the final moments of the trip, everything exceeded my expectations. Thank you once again for an unforgettable experience!

A must-see South Albania’s stunning views with high- quality services with Sam 👌💯 - Thanks to Gezim for making our South Albania trip planning easier and special mention to our tour guide, Sam 👋 ✋who provided exceptional services during the tour. Kudos to the team. We are a group of friends who want to immerse ourselves in nature and Sam exactly did how we want it to be. I am glad that he suggested to go to Peshtura waterfalls in Nivica Canyon which we enjoyed the place all to ourselves. Honestly, it is very hard to choose which is my most favorite part of the trip as all of them are remarkable. But, the roadtrip on the Albanian riviera- Llogara pass and seeing a very scenic route with good friends including Sam whom we felt was our friend and not a tour guide, good music, the air and our laughters during this trip is something that cannot be captured by the camera but will always leave a mark on my heart. Thanks to Sam for his warm welcome and making himself easily available and flexible to attend our wishes even after the tour timing. He has a superb driving skills whose top priority is our safety and enjoyment. The winding coastal road to Llogara pass is a windy, high elevated and narrow road but his driving is very smooth and I really enjoyed it. His dressing style is a plus point which inspires us to really dress up as well. He also brought us to delicious and affordable local restaurants. Thanks Sam for your warm personality and dedication as our guide. You are the best tour guide. ✋ Highly recommended for sure and will definitely book a tour with See trip requesting Sam as our guide on our next visit. Thank you Sam. We are rating this trip a perfect score as it exceeded our expectation with the place and the tour guide. We left some piece of our hearts in the places we have visited together with the memories we have all made.👌

Exceptional Tour Service - Highly recommended. They exceeded our expectations. Our driver/ tour guide Sam makes us feel so comfortable and he's always on the go with everything we wanted to do/ to go. We feel like he's our friend too. We are already missing Albania because of him. We feel like we're home away from home 😊 We will surely come back and explore Albania and use their services again. I hope also See Trips will do other Balkans tour.

A fun and personalized experience - SEE trips is a safe, fun , relaxed yet adventurous experience for seeing Albania. Samet was our guide during the trip and he was helpful throughout, was flexible with our family’s needs especially since we are a family of 5 with the youngest being if age 9. The hikes were customized in a way where we could experience in the safest way possible and because of which it was one of the most adventurous trips we had ever gone on. To people who are concerned about safety , you don’t have to be, it was a very good group, we searched online nd found out about it and had our own concerns, but they were very responsive, respectful and booked really neat hotels close to the centre itself for an even more amazing experience. Me and my family thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would recommend it to anyone who is going for the experience and yes Albania is reaaalllyyy beautiful ❤️

Gezim is the best! - Gezim is the best tour guide! He is so knowledgeable and so funny, and made our trip amazing. We spent 2 weeks across all of Albania with Gezim and it felt like traveling with a local family member! We had a mix of native English speakers and Albanian speakers on our trip and Gezim’s perfect English helped with translating during the entire tour. We can’t wait to go back and use See Trips again!!

Albania.....a gem just waiting to be discovered - We had an amazing Trip with an awesome, friendly guide Gezim and covered Berat, Girokaster, Saranda, Blue Eye, Duress and Tirana in 7 days. Considering we were a group of 12 travelling with kids, we were fortunate to have a patient guide who stayed with us throughout the trip. He received us at the airport and took care of the stay, transport and even with restaurant bookings besides the guided tours through the various townships/cities.

Albanian retreat - Gezim is very informative, friendly and understands our requirements well. Was very comfortable as he managed the group well(especially the kids). His choices of hotels was apt with close proximity to key locations. His presence in the group helped us choose the right food and restaurants. Overall very happy with the trip.
